I have installed and uninstalled the S2 controller on my desktop multiple times...BUT it won’t work.  The last time is a little better...I actually see the app open before it shuts down.  The app works fine on my tablet and phones. Here are the error reports.  It appears to me that it’s an app issueIs there a fix out there ??? I prefer to create my playlists from my stored files on the big screen & keyboard, rather than on the phone or tablet….HELP !!!!  

Hi, I'm looking in to buy a Sonos play 5, currently I have a couple of Google assistant smart speakers. I was wondering if I could pair/sync them with a Sonos play 5 so that I can play the same music across devices or play only on certain devices. Thanks for your help.

I have the S2 app and the “podcasts and shows” filter just isn’t there anymore. Anyone else have this issue? I’ve tried deleting the app and reloading it, system reset, and I am perplexed. I thought maybe it was no longer available but I checked in with a buddy of mine and the filter was available on his app. We both have iPhones, though not the same year.  Does anyone know the fix for this?

I miss the width of the Arc. Can I add two One as front speakers?

Hi There,I've been having certain issues with my Sonos system for a while. Random disconnects, speakers not displaying in the app, unable to play songs/add songs to a queue from my phone whilst i'm moving around the house. My existing set up is a Virgin Media Super Hub 3, in router mode and WiFi disabled, connected to the main BT Mesh Node. There are 2 other secondary BT mesh nodes in other rooms in the house. My sonos speakers (Playbar + Play 1 surrounds, Play 3, and Play 5 Gen 1) all connect wirelessly.As such, i'm thinking about transitioning over to SonosNet to see if it can help sort the issues i face.Unfortunately, the router/primary mesh node is located in a place where it makes no sense to have a speaker. As such, i'm wondering whether anyone has successfully tried connecting a Sonos speaker to a secondary wifi node via ethernet, and whether that successfully creates the SonosNet Mesh and allows for a useable system. One of my secondary nodes is located next to my Play 5, so if

I have changed the channel on Sonos (I have tried all 3 channels) although the music continues to drop out.  Appears to be at the end of the song generally.  Just skips to the next song. Any ideas to fix this?   

Simple question. Is the Zone 2 analogue out on my Yammy AVR the same as tape out on old stereo amplifiers? I was hoping to connect Zone 2 out to my Sonos Connect inputs and then stream whatever my AVR is playing to my Play 3 and Play 5. If that is a goer what will control the volume on the Play 3/5? The AVR or Sonos App? It’s a Yamaha RX-A2A.   

My Sonos one hit a hard floor and is broken. The sound is distorted. Is there a place to fix it?  

The past couple of months when playing music from Spotify on any of the sonos speakers the music skips to the next song or stops playing at random points. It can be after 2 songs or half a day. The controller reports connection to spotify lost. Sometimes i can immediately click play again and it starts over but sometimes it takes 1-10 min before i can resume. Meanwhile i can play from other sources just fine so it seems like a Spotify specific issue. If i try to play using spotify connect then as i select the speaker, it changes it back to the previous target.

So since - I guess - att least a year back the Swedish letters å ä and ö are not recognized. Why? My Nas can see them, windows and Mac can see them. Sure I can get something like A Better Finder Rename and traverse the entire collection hunting for and renaming these songs. But why? This used to work. I never like when things that used to work stop working. Thanks in advance, Andreas 

Hi all, I have a system made up of several PLAY:3s, PLAY1s and One SLs, connected to a NAS.Some of the songs/albums on it have special characters (like é, á, etc) that have started not to play (Unable to play “...”  the file …. cannot be found). It seems to be the PLAY:1s that are not able to find these, although the certainly did in the past. Some of these have also reverted to a filename in Sonos Playlists.I assume it’s been an update triggering this, but would like to know if others suffer and how to resolve it. I really want to avoid renaming them due to the sheer number of songs/albums with special characters. Thanks, Eelke

I have an Arc, Sub and SL’s for my set up and am now using an HDFury Arcana where my PS5 is the source. I can get Dolby Atmos via Bitstream when using the PS5 Blu-ray player and if I fiddle with the output setting in the PS5, I can get PCM 7.1 showing up in the Sonos app. What I’m trying to work out, given the limitations of the PS5, is what the best Audio settings set up is? I want to try and get the least compressed audio through to my Sonos Arc whilst keeping the benefits of Dolby Atmos and am struggling to understand if I’m better off having Dolby Atmos show up in the Sonos app, or if PCM 7.1 is the way to go. Is PCM 7.1 uncompressed better than Dolby Atmos? or should I just stick with Bitstream Dolby Atmos? If anyone knows what I should be doing to get the best audio out of my PS5 into my Sonos Arc (via an HDFury) i’d be very grateful to know. My TV does not have eArc and I’ve connected the HDFury to the TV’s ARC (HDMI2 on my Panasonic TV). 

My setup:Sonos Arc + Sub (Gen 3) + Play:1s Panasonic ST60 Plasma (2013) with HDMI ARC HDFury Arcana eARC Adapter Panasonic UB820 UHD Blu-ray PlayerWhen watching DTS-encoded Blu-rays, I have always set my Panasonic UHD player to convert DTS to PCM so the Arc would output DTS audio as “Multichannel PCM 7.1”. This has worked great. Today, I set the DTS setting on the UHD player to Bitstream instead of PCM with the expectation of getting Stereo PCM audio from the Arc (since Sonos still doesn’t support DTS audio). But to my surprise, the Sonos app still reported “Multichannel PCM 7.1”.Has it always been this way? Has it been this way since the multichannel LPCM update last November and I just never noticed it because I kept the UHD setting on DTS to PCM? Or has there been a recent update that allows the Arc to take the bitstream DTS signal and do the DTS to LPCM conversion on its own?

Hi All,Hoping some could help me. I haven't been able to find a concrete answer.I want to ‘stream’ vinyl from my turntable to my Apple HomePods. Not the Mini’s, but the large first gen HomePods. From what I can tell, they are Airplay 2 compatible. I have added the Sonos AMP into Homekit (Home app) on my iPhone.My current setup is: Phono/Line out from the turntable into my Sonos AMP. Considering the Sonos AMP is Airplay 2 compatible, along with my HomePods, I thought the Sonos App would find my HomePods. This however, doesn’t seem to be the case. Am I missing something, or is my logic of the Sonos AMP ‘seeing’ my HomePods something it cannot do?Any information would be very welcome!

Hi, this may just be me.I have had a beam and 2 play one as my surround sound that i just set up. When I test the sounds on the app it sounds great with the volume coming from all three speakers. However when I play my TV there is no sound out of the rear play one’s (both) or it is extremely low and does not add anything to my audio experience. I have been through the set up a couple of times and each time increased the distance sat from the speakers (its now at max) each time rerunning true play to optimize the sound which has made no difference.This is my first surround sound and its not the experience i was expecting or have heard about. I dont think it ls working as it should. Please help.I have a Sony Bravia xbr65x850e TV.

I upgraded a five zone s1 set up to an s2 set up and switched one unit to a Sonos Move. The Move unit will not stay connected to the Sonos App. I have a Unifi Network with multiple hotspots and I have strong wifi signal all over the house.   So far I’ve tried three things 1) I switched the sonos channel from channel 6 to channel 1, 2) I made sure another sonos unit reasonably nearby is hardwired to the network and 3) I set the move to a fixed IP address.None of this has seemed to help. I have to turn the unit on and off 90% of the time i want to use it.If this is how it’s supposed to work, can I return it? If this isn’t how it’s supposed to work, can you give me further troubleshooting tips?The troubleshooting log confirmation number is: 1694109195.

I am a new Sonos user. I have 4 B&W in-ceiling speakers and a Sonos amp. Am I able to add the Sonos sub without adding another amp?  Thanks in advance!

Building special mounting for the ARC SL… I need the rear machine screw size, pitch, etc for mounting.Thanks

Has anyone else noticed the slightest bit of lip sync on lossless content such as LPCM and TrueHD/Atmos since the 13.3 update got pushed? I never noticed this before, and my setup hasn’t changed (running my Arc through a Sony A90J).I feel like the audio is now slightly ahead, and this wasn’t the case before. I have confirmed all settings on my tv, blu ray player, and Arc have remained unchanged.

Hi community!I bought a Sonos Move two weeks ago approximately. First day of use the battery light flashed red and I visited the vendor in mu country (Chile, Sound Advisor), after a week the vendor says my Sonos don't have any problem, the problem did'nt apper in his lab .Today I had time to test and I listened music "all day" and...The battery light flashing red again and after to conect in  his charge base it normalize, Is it normal? . Battery charge lasted exactly 8 hours with an average volume of 40%. Is it normal? I expected 11 hours or at least 10 hours of music without charging.I appreciate your comments.Javier.-

I am quite angry about this issue and it’s been discussed at length in this topic, where I was provided with instructions on how to deal with this issue. I’ve done that. Done it many times. IT DOESN’T WORK!I have two entertainment systems, a nice 5.1 and 134” screen in the barn, where we have a lot of room, and a smaller one in the house. They’re both projection TV systems, which makes ARC almost impossible to use with them. I have to keep the one in the house on Line In to hear music from the TV.My main issue is that I have to keep this AMP on Line In. (And I loathe that Sonos will ONLY work with ARC and not just an HDMI signal - that would solve m problems, but it’s more important Sonos do things their way than allow a few options to make their expensive hardware work with different setups.) Often the AMP resets to HDMI.I’ve gone through settings and turned on Autoplay for Line-In. I’ve done it about a dozen times a this point. IT DOES NOT WORK. I said, in the other thread, it wasn’t

Hi there!I logged in to my account today, to check my System specs, because I wanted to by a Roam, to add to my current setup. [2 X Play:1 and 1 X Play:3]. I saw “Upgrade” next to my System items, and assumed that this was a software upgrade. I hit “Upgrade” and did not realise that this was for something else. Now, all 3 of my devices have disappeared from my System.  So, does anyone know how to reverse this? I have no idea what I have just done, and I feel a bit pissed off and misled here by Sonos. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Hello, I have been using Sonos products for quite some time. Currently I own a Playbase, a Sub and 4 Play1/One. I would like to change the setup to a single room in the future, with 1 Arc, 1 Sub & 2 Fives.The Fives would be surrounds when watching TV.For music playback I would like to not have sound coming from the TV area. Can the Arc be muted while playing music? Anyone got experience with similar setups? 

I have a Plex playlist marked as a favorite in Sonos.  It plays the songs and works fine.  The problem is when I add a new song to the playlist in plex, the playlist favorite is not longer valid in the sonos favorite.  I have to remove from favorites and then re add it.  Any ideas why this is not refreshing or whatever?
